The settings are for some functionality at `/admin/tool` folder level .. but I want to include some settings for `/admin` and `/` locations as well. My question is what is the best location to put this file at?? Thanks Update Just fyi .. I want to apply settings like ``` max file upload size maz execution time etc ```
